Midway Games Inc. (NYSE:MWY), a leading interactive entertainment
industry publisher and developer, today announced that Hour of Victory™,
the highly-anticipated World War II first-person shooter now exclusively
for Xbox 360™, has shipped to retailers
nationwide.
“Hour of Victory gives gamers a chance
to play a World War II game the way they want –
whether as a guns-blazing Commando, a stealthy covert-operative, or a
sharpshooting Ranger,” said Steve Allison,
chief marketing officer, Midway. “Built using
Unreal® Engine 3.0, Hour of Victory delivers
high-action moments throughout, both in the single-player campaign or
with the three different multiplayer modes over Xbox Live.”
Hour of Victory allows gamers to play a key role in the pivotal and
cinematic battles from the European and North African theaters of World
War II, using the skills and gameplay style they choose. Sneak into
enemy territory as a covert operative, storm the gates as a British
Commando, or snipe from afar as an Army Ranger - each character’s
unique attributes will be needed for the fulfillment of the overall
objective.
Built using the powerful Unreal Engine 3.0, Hour of Victory combines
authentic details from historic World War II battles and adds frenetic
and cinematic gameplay. Players will also be able to jump in and out of
vehicles on the battlefield whenever they wish.
